I started this last weekend and now it's done and finish is dry. Customer wanted the bump out to hold a boom removed. Before pics Phase 1 to get the reinforcing block off the bottom. Remove the screws With a circular saw, cut the block into strips Chisel off the strips Clean up the base with chisel and sandpaper Phase 2 cut off the bump Make a fence from a scrap 2x4 that bridges the rails across the bottom Set the fence so the circular saw will trim off the bump without hitting the spindles Make the cut Finish up the last 1/16-1/8" with a hand plane Round-over top and bottom with router Sand everything Run some test finishes on the bump cutoff. Boiled linseed oil looks good Apply 2 coats of BLO Let dry a couple days Clean up some old scuffs Buff off with 0000 steel wool

Patriot Woodworker Paul Corona shared this on our Facebook timeline, and it move me, woodworkers never cease to amaze me with their kindness. We are a pretty good bunch of folks aint we? In Cokato, MN a man bought a crib at a garage sale and then learned it was supposed to be for a baby that had been stillborn. He turned it into a memorial bench and brought it back to the mom.

I delivered the baby bed project yesterday. I've been working on it way too long, but at least I got it done before the baby showed up. I had a heck of a time with the connector bolts, trying to blindly get them to hit those little threaded barrels just put me over the edge. I ended up getting some threaded inserts and running a die down the connector bolts to get more threads and putting it together like that. It looks plenty strong to me and pretty easy to assemble.
